Advances in Science and Technology

Global Boundary Condition #1: The 20th Century discoveries in quantum physics that led to the development of solid-state electronics, information technology, global telecommunications, the media, and the Internet combined with the mapping of the human genome and the development of nanotechnology have changed our world forever. These scientific and technological advances have extended the biological range, speed, and accuracy of the human senses and enhanced our ability to communicate. The “global village” that has emerged because of our ability to know what is happening on the other side of the earth instantaneously has irrevocably changed the human experience of space and time that has existed for more than 10,000 years. Despite the continued expansion of silicon-based memory, the information processing capability of the human brain remains more or less constant, so this Global Boundary Condition places enormous and immediate stress on people’s ability to manage ever increasing levels of data and information. Advances in science and technology will continue to have dramatic affects on the business environment and the ways in which corporate culture evolve in response.
